[b]Cyprus Cruiser-Shooting Range[/b]
Python stands there, watching Dean take shots at the targets with his shotgun. They were engaged in a conversation. Python speaks.
"Bullshit, Metallica is better than Pink Floyd."
"Dude, Gilmour would smash Hammett in a dual."
"No, he wouldn't."
Dean fires. The target disappears in a cloud of dust, paint and water. He looks down, 'breaking' the barrel and starting to reload the weapon. Python changes the subject.
"Before Nova, how'd you know Jupiter?"
"Don't go there with me, man."
"I'm just looking to officially say I'm sorry."
Dean stays silent, taking aim again, am down the range.

He turns, sitting next to her. Python sets his arm lightly across her shoulders, and starts hugging her close. "It's alright. We've all lost a lot. Friends, family, all of it. But we keep pushing because that's who we are. We wouldn't be fighters if we didn't."
-
[b]her sobs quiet down as the shotgun drops out of her hand, she begins to shake as she runs out of tears[/b]
-
He rubs her head and leans it against his chest. "I've got you, I'm back. Nothing bad will happen on my watch."
-
"How can I be sure that the dread won't control you again? How can I be sure that anyone is safe from them?"
-
"Nova cleaned out my head herself.....the Dread they need to capture you. Their technology isn't advanced enough to take over a Genesis, let alone the ship."
-
"Than we're safe for now?" [b]vaaxius looks at him, her mechanical eyes focusing on his face[/b]
-
"Yeah, we're safe....for now." [spoiler]....until Phantom gets on....[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]oh boy[/spoiler] "In sorry for how I acted...."
-
"It's alright, I deserve worse..."
-
"Let's.... Let's get me some new arms, I can't fight well with only two."
-
"Yeah...I'll help you up." He smiles and stands, extending an arm down to her.
-
[b]vaaxius takes his arm and slowly got up, winching when her lower arms sparked[/b] "Ow, forgot about the synthetic nervous system in place..."
-
"It's alright, I can get them fixed up good." He puts his arm around her by the shoulders and waves to Dean with the hand as he leads her out towards the armory.
-
[b]vaaxius walks with him, letting out sharp breaths as her arms continue to spark, he could tell that she was in pain[/b]
-
"You alright? The armory is close, I'll turn off the pain sensors if you want me to?" She sees the armory about twenty yards away.

-
He stops and starts working at the pain switch. Python eventually finds it and turns it off. "That do it?"
-
"Yeah, I don't feel the pain anymore."
-
"Good...." He leads her into the armory. "...what's the new team like?" At this point, they're sitting at a table, talking while Python works on her arms.
-
"Most of them are in it for the money, others either want to become stronger and make a difference. I'm in the all of the above categories."
-
He nods as he works. "I'm here because I think I owe you guys....quite a bit."
-
"Yeah.... I have a question for you."
-
"Shoot." He turns a screw into place on a panel and nods. "That should be good."
-
"Did you really die? When the ship exploded?" [b]vaaxius flexes her lower arms and grins[/b]
-
"Uhm....not from the ship crashing. I died from a Dread commander. He stabbed me with one of these..." He lights up his axe. "...but a sword not an axe."
